Having been inspired by lots of skiing FB posts over the last week from friends who were away, we're looking at booking next year.
We had our 1st family trip at Christmas - away over Christmas, went high (Cervinia), had lots of snow (albeit some of it manmade) but it was more than enough for us, especially with the added bonus of skiing over the Switzerland. Empty slopes, never had to queue for a lift, not once. Booked everything independently, easyjet flights, airbnb accommodation at the bottom of the lifts, worked out brilliantly and about £2k for 5 of us.
So decision is do we do that again - resort was brilliant, snow good enough. Real driver is the "Christmassy" feeling (children loved that) and empty slopes.
But having seen the snow over Feb half term, I'm dithering. Don't think we could do it anywhere near as cheaply, although we would have more choice of resort as wouldn't need to go so high but I am really worried that the crowds of people would spoil our enjoyment of the slopes. If children got knocked, think it would undermine their confidence.
Any advice?
